Commissioner Eggert asked if corrections of deficiencies would handle that, and Commissioner Scurlock felt there is clearly an attempt to do that. However, while intent is wonderful, the question is whether or not it is clear enough for our Planning staff to work with. Commissioner Eggert understood that the Comp Plan could be reviewed twice a year and amended if necessary. Commissioner Scurlock asked if this means that any development along the SR -60 corridor has to hook up to both water and sewer service. Mr. Rohani explained that they would have to if they are within 200 feet of the service, but of course, we can only enforce it with new development. We already have Ordinance 84-18 for the existing development, but the County does not enforce it. Commissioner Scurlock noted that just recently we were at capacity for wastewater along the SR -60 corridor, not plant capacity but effluent disposal capacity, and probably should have had a moratorium in that area this year. He again wanted to make sure that we have clarity so that when we talk about the concurrency issue, we don't get ourselves in a bind. Director Keating understood his concern, and Mr. Rohani felt that would be taken care of under Policy 5.3 on Page 62: "Design for additional capacity for regional facilities shall begin when a facility is at 750 of its capacity, and construction of additional capacity shall begin when a facility is at 800 of its capacity in order to guarantee provision of more than the minimum level of service. All future expansions will be based on the committed and projected future demand." Commissioner Scurlock suggested that the percentages in Policy 5.3 be changed from 75% and 80o to 50o and 65%. He stressed how necessary it is to design water and sewer systems for peak demand, not average daily flow. The plants must be designed to service the months when everybody is here and flushing, and it is not raining. AUG 2 1
